Caesars Entertainment bids for bookmaker William Hill
British bookmaker William Hill received a takeover bid from US firm Caesars Entertainment
British bookmaker William Hill received a takeover bid from US firm Caesars Entertainment. James Kilsby is USA vice president of Vixio GamblingCompliance, and explains how the changing regulatory picture in the US makes William Hill attractive to a US suitor. And we get wider context from Professor David Forrest of Liverpool University, who specialises in analysis of the sports and gambling industries. Also in the programme, some of the world's leading cement producers have made a public pledge to shrink their carbon footprint. We find out how realistic that is from Jamie Gentoso, chief executive of US cement for LafargeHolcim, and Dinah McCloud, chief executive of the Global Cement and Concrete Association. Plus, we meet the founders of London-based start-up NewFade, which is on a mission to make wigs cool, with a focus on serving young black men.
